This is good news, actually. If history is a guide, toilet paper supply chains are always disrupted in the final year of a Trump presidency.

Truvy: Cuppa cuppa cuppa? You don't even need to write it down: just mix a cup of flour, a cup of sugar, and a cup of fruit cocktail with its juice, then mix and bake at 350 til gold and bubbly.

Pro tip: Do not downsize by giving items to older relatives. The items wind up coming back to you eventually, now imbued with even more sentimental attachment, and you have to get rid of them again. (This is exponentially more true for only-children!)

If I were in DC right now, I'd organize a group to put on the "protest frog" suits and go pose for tourist selfies by the reflecting swamp.

Bluesky users never fail to mystify. I made a joke about someone's comment (friendly, on-topic, clearly indicated, and in no way negative), they hit "like", replied with an emoji which went well with the joke, which I then liked. But 30mins later, after no further interaction, they blocked me? 🤔

MAGA Spurs fans be like "If they'd have stopped counting the points at the end of the 3rd quarter, we'd have beat the Knicks. Mamdani and the radical left Democrat party rigged the points in the 4th quarter!" (I'm not into sportsball but couldn't resist posting this.)
